Helmbreaker not working???

[Scorps]

My helmbreaker should be working i keep spamming guard and normal attack but nothing happens.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

helm breaker works differently, and pretty sure you need to use wirebug attack for it, but cant remember which attack button to push after

[Scorps]

The jumping attack?

yeah you have to use the wirebug skill
one of the attack buttons leads into it. iirc you need to have already 1 level of the spirit gauge here too

the silkbind attack where you kick the monster and jump up -> press button at the apex of jump / as youre falling

i dont think helm breaker/soaring kick is in the demo right now ? there is no option to choose skills, though the game crashing constantly doesnt help me testing it out

now that u mention it i believe that its not in the game. I have been spamming buttons non stop but nothing works even when i jump. pretty sure its a skill which is not included in the demo.

i like how you cant leave some keys unbound because reasons, and you cant bind anything to alt, and why the hell did they make some attacks require you to use the damn wirebug, attacks that worked in world without the bug

Spirit helmbreaker is still in the demo. You use the silkbind attack that launches you to the monster, when you hit the monster from launching yourself, press the button/key for spirit slash and you'll jump upward for the helmbreaker. If you don't do this you'll just slash downward normally. (Make sure your spirit gauge is leveled up though)

making attacks complicated like that is the opposite from "smooth pc controlls", why the hell would you change something like that, it worked perfectly in world and now they changed it so you have to use the Wirebug for everything or what?

You do have the gauge to pull it off right? I'm not long sword expert but I at least know that you need to charge up the blade with the gauge to make it work.

they always change the combat up a bit in every game, otherwise you would get bored fast?

attack into attack was fine nothing to change there, now you need to sling yourself on a monster to do a simple combo attack.......

It's actually easier to land this move than it was in World. The hit detection is better on it as well, like you can take a weird angle and still land all your ticks on the head.
